I'm just super pissed that he's not going to be at Raw tonight, cause me and my girlfriend are taking my little brother and sister. They're both Triple H marks like I am, and I know they're gonna be bummed.
And the day Triple H retires for good is the day I break down and cry like a little girl (Same with Flair).

And don't forget Dave Taylor tearing his meniscus and then showing up a couple weeks later. These guys are tough. The only ones who miss significant time are those who 1) absolutely have to, or 2) those that can afford to. Amazing Red saw his career derailed because he tried to come back too fast from big knee problems. Triple H can take as much time as he needs, simply because if he doesn't show up until a random Raw around the Royal Rumble next year, then ratings improve because of the anything-can-happen-in-the-WWE angle, plus Triple H is back, plus that's plenty of time to recover.

What about Finlay? He's 10 years older than HHH and is still going strong on Smackdown. Finlay also hasn't destroyed his body with roids though I could be wrong

I guarantee you HHH will be back full time, not because of who he married, but because of who he is. QFT. We haven't seen any results for his MRI yet so we really don't know how severe his injury is even if it is a quad tear. Either way, I see HHH coming back full time after his injury is healed

well some of those guys have bounced back from injuries, but what if this is one of those injuries that does call time on his career, people say look at ric flair..I say..look at Austin, ok his neck was the main thing, but this may be an injury that takes HHH off the regular roster, i mean he's just had a kid with Steph. he may decide, maybe i could stay home with the wife and kid for a bit
and well.could you blame him?

I hope that HHH's career isn't over, as I do like watching him, and I don't think it will be. Though, I am a little happy that he did get injured, only because MAYBE, just MAYBE they will push someone else up to the top spot, or at least in that area. It's terrible that I look at it that way, but it seems like that'll be the only way some of the lower card guys can get a push.

If he doesn't return, does this mean the glass ceiling is broken?

He might not wrestle much after this but he should still be a part of the product in a on screen roll of some kind. I'd like to see him be a gm in the Foley and Austin style.

He'll be back. Age doesn't matter. Look at HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN. At age 53 he's still the top draw in profesional wrestling. No hes not... ...anyway, it sucks if The Games career may just be part time after this. With Kane and Taker leaving, Angle gone, Rock in movies, and Austin with his neck injury, the heroes of the Attitude Era are gone...

HHH's injury is bad, but I really don't think it's as bad as you think it may be. He had enough power to deliver a Pedigree. Last time it tore he was able to get on a table and turn for a weak Walls of Jericho. I understand he walked out almost under his own power, so. It's probably a mild tear that will most likely put him out for Mania, but I expect him to be in HBK's corner against Edge or something.

He be back. Here's why I say that: - Finlay. He tore everything in his leg so bad that he lost use of it for awhile but, has come back. Trips can do that and be a major player on TV by being a manager or GM.
- Flair. He broke his back so bad that doctors thought he'd never walk again, yet he is wrestling at the age 50+ years old.
- Angle, Austin, Edge, Rhino and others. They broke their neck and can still wrestle. Not the same type of injury yet it proves that things can be over come.
- May 22, 2001. Trips completely tore his left quad. He know what this is like and that this isn't as bad as that tear.
- January 7, 2001. That date and the reaction he got for that return will drive him harder than before.
- Vince McMahon. He tore BOTH quads at the same time and was back in 3 or 4 months. He'll have Vince's help and the motivation to not let his 60+ year old Father In Law do something he couldn't do
- The McMahon Family. He is a part of it now and will want to show the boys in the back that he and Vince can over come this stuff than they can do the same.
- His ego. He wants another World Title run and Wrestlemania Main Event. That will drive him like crazy.

Trips isn't going anywhere...hes gonna do his rehab and come back around september or so and beat whichever team rko person its is for the championship at survivor series. This injury is gonna make him realize he only has 1 really good run left in him and as long as hes married to the bosses daughter hes gonna get that opportunity.

I'm loving all of these posts about how Triple H will be back because he's married to the boss's daughter. OMG!!!!HHHISCHAMPIONBECAUSEOFSTEPHANIE!!!!!!11!!! Because as we all know he wasn't one of the top draws/best workers in the company/multi-time World Champion before he married Steph. Please.

There's no way Trips retires, i doubt he even contemplates it during his rehab.

People that are saying " He'll be back, look at Hogan" are being silly. Hogan doesn't exactly exert himself in the ring.. When we say that we are not comparing the two. Hunter Hearst Helmsley is not in HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN'S league. We are merely saying that his age won't be a determaning factor.
